Find Lasting Relief from Endometriosis: Expert Excision Surgery at Reston OBGYN
If you’re one of the many women silently struggling with chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, or unexplained infertility, endometriosis may be the cause. At Reston OBGYN in Centreville, Virginia, we specialize in diagnosing and treating endometriosis through advanced excision surgery—a long-term solution designed to improve your quality of life, restore comfort, and help you take control of your health.
What are the signs that I might need endometriosis excision surgery?
Women experiencing persistent pelvic pain, severe menstrual cramps, painful intercourse, or bowel and bladder discomfort may be candidates for endometriosis excision surgery. If over-the-counter medications and hormone therapies are no longer effective, or if you’re having trouble conceiving, it may be time to consider excision surgery as a definitive treatment.
How does excision surgery differ from ablation for endometriosis?
Excision surgery involves completely removing endometriosis lesions from affected tissue, providing a more comprehensive and lasting solution than ablation, which only burns the surface of the lesions. At Reston OBGYN, we use meticulous surgical techniques to precisely remove all visible endometrial growths, reducing the likelihood of recurrence and preserving healthy tissue.
What is the recovery process like after endometriosis excision?
Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s overall health. Most women can expect to resume normal daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Dr. George Iskander will offer detailed post-operative instructions and ongoing support to ensure a smooth healing process, with regular follow-ups to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
How is endometriosis diagnosed before surgery?
Diagnosing endometriosis begins with a detailed medical history, pelvic exam, and imaging studies such as an ultrasound or an MRI. However, the most definitive diagnosis is often made through laparoscopy—a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows direct visualization and confirmation of endometrial lesions. Our experienced gynecologist, Dr. Iskander, tailors each diagnostic plan to your unique symptoms and reproductive goals.
Is excision surgery the most effective long-term treatment for endometriosis?
Yes. Unlike temporary treatments such as hormonal suppression or ablation, excision surgery offers a durable, long-term solution by removing the lesion at its root. Many women experience significant pain relief, improved fertility, and better overall health after excision. Reston OBGYN is proud to offer this advanced surgical approach with personalized care and precision.
